Paul,

I can't really address the bulk of your question (I consider myself a
beginner in the art of the \layout, and am still working through some of
its invocation options), but I do notice a couple things:

Paul Tremblay said this at Thu, 3 Mar 2005 02:45:01 -0500:

>\definelayout[odd][
> header=2in, % the space for headers
> footer=2in, % the space for footers
> height=7in % the height of the body text
>]

This (nominally, without use of page=high or some such) leaves three
inches for the body text. Unlike the right/left margin, header/footer
space is considered part of the textblock's height. I don't know the
historical reasons for this, but it makes a kind of sense.

>\definelayout[even][
> header=2in, % the space for headers
> footer=2in, % the space for footers
> height=4in % the height of the body text
>]

This, then, leaves zero height for the main body text, which is why I see
only a single line typeset on even pages.

\showframe is your esteemed friend in debugging these matters.
